Centros de datos: España no pierde la oportunidad de perder una oportunidad
El sector de 'data centers' se topa con la mala suerte de las elecciones, que elevan la tentación del 'sostenella y no enmendalla' en medio de la aprobación del polémico decreto que amenaza inversiones millonarias. Leer
Spain is missing an opportunity to become a key player in the data center sector, according to SpainDC, the industry association. The government recently announced a decree regulating the data center industry in Spain, implementing the most restrictive regulations in Europe. The industry association warns that if the decree is approved without amending its most controversial requirements, it could lead to the abandonment of most ongoing projects in Spain, resulting in loss of investments of over €60 billion.
Spain has ideal conditions for hosting data centers, including abundant sunshine for renewable energy, excellent connectivity, and vast available land. However, the decree may push investors to relocate projects to neighboring countries like Portugal or France, which would be delighted to receive such investments.
